Support

If your team is embarking upon a RAP journey, you should understand why RAP are important and think about which levels of RAP that you want to aim for.

From there, we recommend reaching out for some in-person support.

Support for NHS England colleagues

If you work at NHS England, the Data Science RAP squad are your main RAP Champions: get in touch! We you can offer some in-person support in several forms:

  • Reviewing your RAP work and assessing your progress against the levels of RAP
  • Peer review of code
  • Workshops for a specific RAP capability
  • Consultancy style engagement where we plan a migration strategy
  • Pair coding
  • Shadowing another team

There is also a growing community of RAP experts outside the Data Science RAP squad - you can find them on our NHS England RAP MS Teams page (internal to NHS England).

Support for other colleagues

If you're not in NHS England, the RAP Champions Network can offer support through:

  • Helping you understand why and how they implemented RAP in your department and why it worked for them
  • Sharing code via platforms like GitHub so that others can learn from and adapt what has been done
  • Shadowing & mentoring opportunities
  • Peer review

They also have more guidance on how to get started, and get help here.

There are several forums where you can introduce yourself, ask for help, or discuss different approaches:
